The Birds
by Aristophanes
Adapted and Co-Directed by Teresa Cruz + Lillian White
presented by Juncture Mobile Theatre Lab at the Back Swamp Schoolhouse
Description
Written over 2,500 years ago, The Birds has a surprisingly relatable plot. When two pals come upon the birds, they are intoxicated by the opportunity to control the air between man and the gods from a bird’s eye view. The power trip that plays out as they name the city, establish borders, and hear out hopeful migrants echoes the political battles we hear about on our nightly newscasts.
